The nation's introverted population experienced a collective sigh of relief yesterday after receiving the text message they'd been hoping for all week: 'Hey, sorry, have to cancel tonight.'

Within seconds of the cancellation texts being sent, living rooms across America erupted in silent celebrations. Reports indicate thousands of people immediately changed into pajamas, despite it being only 3 PM.

"This is the best day of my life," said introvert Jessica Park, already under a blanket with Netflix queued up. "I was so stressed about making small talk. Now I can just... exist."

Mental health experts say the phenomenon of 'cancelled plans relief' is well-documented among introverts. Dr. Michael Foster explains: 'While they want to maintain friendships, the actual act of leaving the house and interacting with humans can be exhausting. A cancellation is like getting a surprise day off.'

One anonymous source reported doing a 'quiet fist pump' before texting back 'No worries! Feel better!' with seven understanding emojis, despite their friend having no actual illness to recover from.
